To start the year off giving, I became a part of Play It Forward 2013, thanks to Kana Tyler.
She posted on Facebook that the first 5 people to comment on her post
will get something handmade (or home grown) in the mail from her, some
time in the next 12 months. The kick is… they in turn, have to play it
forward and do the same for 5 of their friends. I love it! The first
person to comment on my post was Bonnie. This little bookmark will be
winging it’s way to Canada.

Inspiration for these bookmarks was found in the following reference books: One Zentangle a Day by Beckah Krahula and Zenspirations- Dangle Designs by Joanne Fink.
I really intended to leave them mostly black and white with just a few
little hints of color. Well, as you can see…. I couldn’t quit!!! I
made 6 of these on Sunday. (I was sick, so I spent almost the whole day
in my studio.) They will be laminated before I mail them off.

About Cardinal Leon Joseph Suenens

Cardinal Leon Joseph Suenens
played a major leadership role during the Second Vatican Council in the
early 1960s; his reforms include reciting the liturgy in modern
languages, expanding the role of laypersons, and opening a dialogue with
other religions. He was born in 1904 in Brussels. Wealthy relatives
wanted him to study economics and manage their fortune, but instead he
entered the priesthood. He was witty and charming, with an enthusiasm
for soccer. He died in May 1996.

My Attitude is Infectious

Five days a week, I post positive quotes that can change the course of your day. They are quotes that make you feel good.

A lot of people enjoy sharing these tidbits with the people around them. I also post a little piece of myself through my art. I usually paint in a colorful, happy style.

"Alyson Stanfield's book I'd Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion is the most comprehensive self-promotion advice out there for artists. And not only is it packed with information, she also shows artists of all kinds how to implement each action step. I can also attest that the book is well designed, easy to follow, and a pleasure to look at (graphically). I just love the big red exclamation point that I see on the spine when it sits on my bookshelf!"
